Life worries me 
Not knowing what comes next petrifies me
People astonish me
Their emotions and feelings are never accurate
Children I understand
Because in their little magic land
We all get to be the perfect man
Deep in thought I am the knight
Ruling over this glorious land
In this maze, I am amazed how rich I am
Deep in thought in this imaginary land
I get to be my own man no barriers, no class, no war
How I wish, I could of stayed in this imaginary land....

My brook has grown 
into an ocean. 
Pearl-spot fish 
have disappeared.
Instead,
sharks skulk around. 
They see 
my pocket,
not my heart.
They’re 
democratically undemocratic.
Poetry is inedible.
Profit is 
the sole default
in their thought-mechanism.

Shark morphing
petrifies me.
I wake up 
from the dreamy life,
losing my serenity
in their serrated presence. 
I turn
a tiny sardine,
ready to be swallowed.
